i feel DISGUSTING! *gaag*

It's finals week for me.. which means I had to cut down on EVERYTHING i do, and focus on my studies. I've got one more final Wednesday night, and then after that, my liver is going to get a beating. But like I said, I had to cut down on everything I do..

Drinking, going to the GYM [aaahhh!!!], Sleeping, Hanging out, Surfing the web, Blogging, being Lazy, watching LOST..

All I do is sit at my computer, stare at the screen, my books, my notes, and my whiteboard.. I only study for 30min at a time because I'm a HORRIBLE studier[?] and i have a short attention span when it comes to studying.

I need to get to the gym SOON. I feel like I'm out of the loop, like I have to catch up on everything I missed out on. Lucky this past weekend I worked out at Foundation Crossfit on Saturday, then did the BIGCLIMB for Lukemia on sunday *see Crossfit Log for time* .. but lately not going to the gym has made me feel REAL sluggish.

After my final, I will be heading to Seattle to celebrate with friends that will be finished with finals on Wednesday too, so expect a drunken story from this week. I'm sure Drunk-Marc will decide to come out and play.. and curse.. and curse again. Alrite, thats all i got for now. Oh yeah, trip to California this Easter weekend, meaning wine tasting! speaking of wine tasting, check out this clip that I watch constantly.. ITS AWESOME!



*sigh* Okay, back to staring at the same things over and over and over and over and..

Let's snuggle it out ;)

It's late and all i need is a snuggle..


You know you want one too..
ZACH IS AWESOME.

Notables of the Week

Alright, the week is just about up. This one is going to be quick like ninja cause I’ve got a ferry to catch once again. No, I am not going to get drunk again.. this time I’m off to Seattle for a workout. So enjoy the next few minutes that I put together for your viewing pleasure..

Early this week, I arrived to the college campus a bit late as usual. I like to get into class right as it begins so that everyone can see how awesome I am before I sit down. SYKE, who does that? Not me.. and by “not me” I mean me. And by “me” I mean skanky girls that need attention to get on with their lives. You skanks. Anyways, point is is that its probably 60-something degrees outside, and I see this chick walking in shorts and crocs.. oh yeah, and a sweater. Now I know what you’re thinking..

“It’s 60-something degrees outside?! And this stupid chick is wearing CROCS?! Foreals, who in their right mind would wear CROCS?!”

I hate crocs. They are a croc of shit. Have I ever owned a pair? HELL NO, I have a brain that knows better than that. So then how could I judge a pair of “shoes” without even trying them on? Well, you know that saying “you can’t judge a book by its cover” ? Well someone took the cover of the Crocs story, buried it far into the ground, and then puked all over the pages. That’s why I know crocs are lame-o. I’d go into further detail, but just the thought of crocs make me want to stab myself in my eye with a pencil.. eraser side. That way I stab my hand with the sharp side at the same time.. So the pain is even worse.

Luckily for me, another person feels the same way for crocs, and also doesn’t have to catch a ferry, so he/she has more time on their hands to elaborate on how dumb crocs are.. about Crocs and more

On a happier note, I just bought the CD/DVD album of Nick Swardson and it is funny as fuck. I popped it in and the first skit cracked me up. I suggest you all go out and get it. If you don’t know him, he’s known for his role in Reno 911, Grandma’s Boy, The Benchwarmers, Blades of Glory, and other movies/shows/comedy stand-ups.. He also posts up on Funny or Die , where he has some great short clips of things he’s written. Hilarious.

Speaking of Hilarious and Funny or Die.. I’m sure some of you have seen the clip of “Charlie bit me” .. if not then


.. well here’s the adult version.. I’d post up but I’m not sure if its too NSFW.. better safe than sorry.. Charlie Bit Me 2.0

Now for some advice..

Ladies, I have no clue how difficult it must be for you to keep your man, or future man in some cases, happy.. but from a guys perspective, I can help you understand what it is we men are looking for. So I think I have found exactly what you need.
Clitter!
[this is a joke by the way, don’t take me seriously]

On a serious note [foreals this time].. As you all may know, I’ve been trying to stay up to date with CrossFit. As of now, my legs are weak and my groin is in pain.. luckily for me I get to work out AGAIN this weekend! Its okay, no pain no gain, right? So to finish up this weeks notables, I’d like to indulge you into an idea I think is quite interesting. And I am sure this is probably true, because I know I wouldn’t mind a partner ;)

“The female workout buddy
For some men, working out with a female can be a terrific motivator for more than the obvious reasons. First, just being around a female can help to increase your testosterone levels, which then translates to you likely having a better workout session. Secondly, if it's your girlfriend or wife you are working out with, this is a terrific activity for you both to do together that will help to strengthen the relationship, in and out of the bedroom.

Far too often couples get into the habit of doing more sedentary activities, coupled with more eating than usual, which results in weight gain. This, in turn, tends to lead to problems regarding attraction. So by choosing fitness as a common hobby, you are addressing the problem before it starts. On the other hand, some men prefer a male workout buddy since they tend to be shy around females, and will thus be distracted. The important thing is realizing what works best for you.” SOURCE

Have a good weekend everyone. Be safe, and wrap it up!

LAST WEEKEND [Feb 22, 2008]

LAST WEEKEND [Feb 22, 2008]

Last weekend began Friday morning for me. At 11am, I had a date with Calculus, and she was a mean bitch, who likes to play with my mind. One hour passes with me and her arguing over who is better, and our time was up. Time for my next date: Alcohol.

I begin packing my things, set off to the ferry, then caught a ride with Mr. CrossFit [CF] himself, where we try figure out what the plan is.. and it went a little something like this..

1.Get Alcohol.
2.Get drunk.

Easy plan, right? Of course. Although CF was DD for the night, that surely didn’t stop me. I just got ass raped by Calculus, therefore Alcohol deserves sloppy seconds. We make it back to the apartment. Bottles begin to open up, mix drinks are made [with the occasional Dissarrono straight up, double], and the asian glow sets in. Everyone who’s everyone shows up, and the saga continues, drink after drink. Now, at this point, I am still Marc-James, meaning I may be a bit louder than usual, but I know what I’m saying.

We pack into the car and make our way to the club. First thought as we enter the club..

“I just got in for free! Mother fuckers, this is going to be a good night!.. where’s my drink?”

I spot the booth, set my jacket down, and wait.. “Hey Marc! Are you gonna get a drink?! C’mon, we’re getting one.” .. BINGO… “Hey, what do you want? Sex on the beach?”

“Sure.” One Sex on the Beach coming up.. *gulp* What the fuck?! This is gross.. Oh well, the words ‘shitfaced’ and ‘gross’ go perfect together.

It’s back to the booth where someone hands me a cup of champagne. AWESOME, cause this will get me fucked up even quicker. *gulp* *gulp*.. Aw shit, my stomach hurts, I knew I should have eaten more. Me and CF decide to get some fresh air upstairs where he introduces me to one of his friends [forgot her name, but she was cute.. I mean, she had a nice personality]. Stomach pain is gone. Time to party. At this point, Marc-James has called it a night, and Buzzed-Marc joins the party.

I’m feeling good. Music is loud, the taste in my mouth is switching from champagne to Cran-Orange-Pineapple-Vodka, and my sight is getting clearer and clearer for some reason. I think that’s what happens when you drink a lot; you tend to see EVERYTHING, which is sorta good, yeah? Anyways, I knock a few random drinks back, and get a drink spilt on my pants [its okay, she was drunk.. a little touchy though, but who’s complaining ;) ]. I decide to visit another booth where another friend is celebrating her birthday. In a nutshell..

“Hey guys! Happy birthday FASA family!.. oh what, picture?! Sure! So uhh.. I think I left my drink here.. Yeah! That one, the one that’s full.. YUM. What is thi--- oh man.. I think I’m.. yeah, I’m FADED.. AWESOME. Ooh, birthday girl isn’t dancing.. Time for lapdance from the king of faded-lapdances.. . … okay, enough of that. Where’d my posse go? Peace out FASA, I got a train to catch, and it’s headed towards a dark tunnel called DRUNK.”

By this point, I’m borderline Drunk-Marc.. because I’m sure more happened but I just can’t remember. Success. I make it back to the booth. “Why is everyone sitting dow—hey, more drinks on the table. *snag*.. *gulp*..YUM.” I get a few dances in with the ladies, and before I know it, it’s time to depart from this debacle, and head back to the apartment. Oh, don’t forget your jacket smarty pants! Jacket; CHECK.

Now, I’d like to introduce you to a friend of mine who hardly comes out. His name is Drunk-Marc.. loud, stupid, foul-mouth, funny [or so I hear], and just down right ready to party. We make it outside with everyone, and the first thing Drunk-Marc decides to do.. play one of the greatest games EVAARRrrr..

“Hey buddy, have you met my friend ‘Joy’ ?!” .. “Hey, this is my friend Joy!” … “Hey man! That’s my friend Joy!”

“Marc! Stop that! Hiiii… yeah that’s me.. okay.. MARC! STOP!”

On our way to the car, I think I blackout.. meaning I don’t remember, but from what I heard, we were giving eachother piggy-back rides all at the same time. But we still make it to the car. Again, I blackout, but from pictures and testimonials, we were taking very weird pictures and complaining about how fast CF was driving. We make it home safely. On our way up the apartment, ‘Legs’ decides to knock on the wrong door.. SHIT. Luckily we’re asian so we know how to run like immigrants.

Home safe. Again, my memory has left me and this time is quite fragmented.

I’m not sure but I think I threw up at this moment, cause I don’t recall seeing food in the toilet yet.
I see 3 people at the front door.. “Marc! Come sign for the pizza!” okay, first of all, I don’t remember saying I’d pay. I don’t even remember anyone ordering pizza!.. oh well, pizza is ZOMG-awesome when drunk.. *I hand them my card* “where do I slide this thing?” … “No, you just sign the receipt.”… “Oh, okay.." *leaning against the wall with my head down* "So wait, $33… $36. is that enough for tip?” Whatevers. We got our pizzas. I grab the gallon bottle of ranch! It’s on like Donkey Kong. When I'm drunk, I always tend to DRENCH my pizza with ranch, everyone thinks it's gross, but they still let me go to town with it. I think I finished one, and then make my way back to the bathroom. Throw up #2. Bday-Girl comes to see how I’m doing. This is where it gets good and bad.. and good again.. *I’m adlibbing from what I kind of remember.. also, it makes sense.*

“Uuughh.. that was gross”
“Are you okay?”
“Fuck Bday-Girl! What the fuck?! Why aren’t you drunk?!”
“Fuck you Marc!”
“No! Fuck you! Fuck.. Bitch. I hate you now.”
“Good. I hate you.”
*sticking my middle finger up* “yeah okay. Fuck. Fuck you.. Fuck.. Fucking bitch.”

I sit back down. Maybe finish another ranch with pizza. Then ‘Lazy’ waves a pizza in my face.. “mmm, it’s soooo good… you know you want some..”

“Excuse me…” *raaaaaaalllllppphhh* Throw up #3.

Bday-Girl and Drunk-Marc exchange words again.
*rubbing back* .. “Aww.. are you okay? You’ll be okay..”
“Dammit Bday-Girl.. I hate you.. I hope you’re enjoying this.. Fuck.”
”HAH.. actually I am.”
*middle finger goes up again* "Fuck, Bday-Girl.."
“Fuck you Marc! Fuck!.. this is too fun.”
“oh yeah! I hope you’re enjoying this.. Fuck.. Fucking bitch.” [yeah, I wouldn’t doubt that I repeated myself..]

The last image I see is everyone sitting by the TV watching Eddie Murphy while I pass out on the couch on the other side of the room. From what I heard, they kept asking “Is Marc still awake?” and I would answer “YES. MARC IS STILL AWAKE” .. then I supposedly got up and had the decency of changing my clothes into sensible sleep wear, because I woke up the next morning saying “What the fuck.. where’d my clothes go?!”

At least the bucket next to me was empty, meaning I’m AWESOME.

[marc]

PS: for those who were here this night, please feel free to jog my memory, or input anything you remember. Thanks.

marC your calendarrrsss!!

I haven't been to the movies much. I am what you might call... oh, how do you say it.... BROKE. not really broke, but i just spend my money wisely, like on alcoholic beverages, gas, "company" [see: prositutes], ferry rides, and the occasional "dates" if you will.. [btw, im kidding about the prostitutes. you sickos]

The last time i saw a movie was Rambo. Why I saw it, no clue, except for the part of my brain that said "dude, just go watch it. your friends are doing it, and you don't hang out with them very much.. give your hand a break for the night and go out." So I watched it... .. . ...the great part of the movie.. was the theater! hah. the ENTIRE theater was full of empty seats, except for the 3 seats that were filled with my ass and 2 other friends. I didn't have to whisper or keep my voice down when I would yell "WTF?! oh shit! he just cut that dudes arm off!" anyways.. I'm not a big Rambo fan, but it was something out of the norm.

ANYWAYS, the reason for all this is because of a few movies I shall wait for, while I twiddle my thumbs and rock back n forth waiting for the day to arrive. Of course, there are many other movies coming out that I could talk days about [ie. Iron Man, Wolverine, Dark Night, etc.] .. but these few movies that caught my attention get a special high-five from me. btw, I don't pass out high-fives like they're genital herpes so this is rare.

First one is Pineapple Express, the new Judd Apatow movie. Watch the trailer, it's worth the next 2:45 seconds of your life.

Pineapple Express

Yes, more of the guys who brought you Knocked Up and all those movies. I'm a fan of this type of humor, so get off my back. Another movie about smoking weed? .. wait, i dont see a problem there. hmm. oh well, im awesome so whatever.


Next movie is actually NOT a trailer. More of a "test scene".. but overall, it still caught my attention. maybe its because the book scared me when I was a kid. I don't even think I finished it cause it freaked me out. Have a look see and let me know what you think. Actually, don't tell me cause I'm just pretending I care, and the only thing I care about are MONEY and WOMEN.... and food. ... and.. no wait, thats it. oh, and success also i guess.. meh.

Spike Jonze is genius btw

so there you go. I just took maybe 5-10 minutes of your life away, and you're not getting them back. I just altered your future by typing up this blog. Isn't that crazy?? You can thank me later when you rule the world, or win the lottery. Oh yeah, the weekend's coming up, and I think I'm getting shitfaced because of an EXAM on FRIDAY. so check back to see what type of stupidity i get myself into..

Im awesome.

Notables of the Week

WHAT. A. WEEK.

This week went by pretty quick for me, which is a good thing 'cause there's nothing like looking forward to a weekend. a 3 DAY WEEKEND! thank yoooouuuu presidents! so this weekend, I'm looking forward to one of the joys in my life.. the only one that lets me ride her all day long, now matter what the situation is, just as long as i drive to see her, and pay my respects every now and then.. YES! thats right! you got it!

THE MOUNTAIN!


*note: Rob Dyrdek of DCshoes is awesome. not only because Rob&Big is such rad show, but because they put a friggin Subaru on the mountain.*

Did I mention I LOVE SNOWBOARDING?! If not, then here: I LOVE SNOWBOARDINGZZzWOW!!11

Last night I stayed up looking at another thing I love.. FUNNY ASS SHIT! why? cause I can't sleep and funny ass shit makes me laugh when I can't judge people and make fun of them.. so take a gander at a few things I enjoyed.

Lolcats is LOL at night
Global Warming is gonna suck ass. NOT, bitches!
Spongebob+oldflicks= giggling like a 12yr old
WillFarrell you so silly.

Okay enough for now.

Ooh! so lately I've been working on a new workout schedule.. CROSSFIT, thanks to my boy DRU. He's got me hooked [like the ladies that follow him] on CROSSFIT! its a great workout, and I haven't done such an extensive workout like this before and im enjoying it. Check his shit out! after that you can check his website out ;) hehe.. silly.

Tonights quote of the week.. and may I say, this quote is possibly the one quote I will be living by for the next few years of my life. maybe more..

Usher You Don't Have to Call
"Gonna boogie.. tonight. Cause I'm honestly too young of a guy, to stay home.. Waitin' for love. So tonight, I'm gonna do what any single man does.. and that's PARRRRTTTAAYYY.."

[After this, I had to leave to go hang out. So a quick recap of what I left my blog for]

8pm: Friday night, out n' about around town.. hotel party doesn't go down so we decide to take it to our old "hang out" spot, a bar.

10pm: A couple hours go by with a few drinks here and there.. catching up on things.

11pm: More friends meet up with us at the bar [about 13-15 of us now] so we get a table.

12am: 2 tables away, 3 "other" guys try to stare us down. We don't let that pass.

12am-1am: Words are exchanged. more talking and sitting, till they start taunting us. Again we don't let that pass.

1:15am: Push comes to shove, shove comes to blows to the face on the "other" guys. Security breaks it up, kicks the other guys out, but not before they get a good beating from 15 of us.

1:25ish: Cops come, the bar is a mess, some blood here and there, surrounded by adrenalin and testosterone in the air. Tonight was a good night. By the way, we didn't get kicked out.

2:30am: Home safe now. can't sleep, too much adrenalin. must blog to calm down.


What a way to start the weekend, right? well snowboarding in a few hours. Did I mention this trip cost me $5 for transportation and lift ticket? what.a.steal. too bad I can't pack my Subaru under the bus so I can take it up the mountain..

Have a safe weekend everyone, and be sure to give it up for the presidents! who gave us freedom, the pursuit of happiness, and of course... A 3 DAY WEEKEND.

and im spent.

Flowers?! for me?! you shouldn't have ;)

February 14: Valentine's Day.

WARNING: This blog about V-Day is written in perspective of a MAN. I already know what I'm getting myself into, but hey, I've got nothing to lose.

Now, we all know the story of Valentine's Day, so I'm not going to bore you with it. Some people like to use this time as A DAY to celebrate their beautiful relationship with their partner, maybe by a bouquet of flowers, chocolate, candle lit dinner for 2, soft love music playing in the background, etc etc.. yet, of course we've all heard it before..

WHY JUST ONE DAY?! of course we shouldn't focus on just one day to show others we love them.. it should be a natural thing we do throughout or lives. Again, we know this too. And again, I will not bore you with knowledge you already have, or should have.

I'm not here to lecture, I'm here to let you in on how i feel about Valentine's Day. I am one of those who would say
"Valentine's Day?! but.. didn't I just take you out to dinner?!"

I think Valentine's Day isn't for everyone, meaning it's for those who have such a busy schedule trying to raise a family, it's sort of a "reminder," and since Saint Valentine is celebrated this day, why not kill two birds with one stone? Seriously, not EVERYONE is perfect, so of course we will have one of those years where things just get so hectic during life, you need a little reminder. So yeah, a celebration for your relationship should be done throughout time, but I feel for those who are just caught up in things. And the 14th is the day you both can share that one moment throughout your busy schedule.

I'm not perfect, so I may have not shown it so much during V-day, but I'm sure I was able to show it during the relationship, I mean why else would it last so long? I'm not bragging, but then again, shit.. people don't call me "BOMB in the form of man" or "10%" for nothing ;)

So how do I feel about V-day? It sucks. It's sort of a reminder for me.. that during all that time I did the little things, and the big things, I have nothing to show for it. Yeah so I may be a bit greedy, but thats what happens when you put someone else before your own needs. But for me, my needs were to make someone else happy.

There is no greater feeling than putting a smile on someone's face. Your heart pitter patters, your knees get weak, you get a rush of feelings in all your senses.. overall it's probably the greatest high you can get, or so I think. So yeah I should have been thinking of myself, to be more independent and all, but I'd rather go through life knowing I could make someone smile so much, and not reach my "dream life". Maybe that is my dream life; make someone happy, THEN be successful. Maybe my success is found in other peoples happiness.. hmm..

Valentine's Day gives me mixed feelings. A single person having to endure the day where two people who are attracted to each other celebrate their relationship. GREAT. thanks for reminding me IM SINGLE. But then again, thanks for reminding me IM SINGLE. and YOUNG. and I know I can express my love also, maybe even better than you! and right now is not the time, but time will pass and I will have my Valentine's Day. SHE will have MY Valentine's Day, and it may not be celebrated on the 14th of February, but rather on the days I want to remind her how much I care.

There you have it. MARC and V-Day. have a good one everyone, and if you don't have that other person by your side, don't fret. Your day will come, and you will make it the best V-Day for that special someone. I know I will.

Musiq Soulchild "Love"

Many days I've longed for you
Wanting you
Hoping for the chance to get to know you
Longing for your kiss
For your kiss, for your touch, for your feel, for your essense
Many nights I've cried from the things you do
Felt like I could die from the thought of losing you
I know that you're real
With no doubt, and no fears
And no questions

Love
So many people use your name in vain
Love
Those who have faith in you sometimes go astray
Love
Through all the ups and downs, the joy and hurt
Love
For better or worse I still will choose you first

Confidence.. the bull with horns of steel

Ah yes.. Good ol' CONFIDENCE. The one thing women like, and the one thing "good guys" want. This topic for the night is up for discussion because of recent talks with friends. We've contemplated our lives as bachelors/bachelorettes sharing moments and discussions of past relationships, future relationships, and present "relationships" .. so i decided to take it upon myself to OUTPUT my INPUT.

Now, first of all, I haven't had much interaction with the other gender due to a recent long-term relationship [no regrets there tho!] but from what I have seen and learned, confidence is VERY important. not only relationship wise, but also throughout life. Meeting THAT girl/guy, job opportunities, interviews, etc. but the most difficult confidence area is meeting other people. I think that once you got that one down, your ready for anything.

Ladies, let me say "I hate you." why? because you have NO IDEA how easy you have it!.. if you know you look good or maybe even just alright, then the chances of guys thinking you look good is even better. so that should be a confidence builder already. So if you are worried about "Does that guy want to talk to me? how come he hasn't said anything?! omg, is my hair ugly?!", stop worrying and step up. I don't know about other guys, but from my perspective, it's AWESOME when the girl has the confidence to come and talk to me *cue Jodeci song* .. some may like the whole idea of chivalry but times changed so help us guys out, okay? BUT, if you like the idea of the guy coming up to you, do us a favor, and give us some sort of sign! a wink, a smile, a little wave.. guys are not as smart/confident/ballsy as you may want us to be.. and if they are, then they are either dicks/players, or if your lucky, actually HAVE confidence [which is a small percentage of us, no lie]. Bottom line, step out.. or help out.

Now guys... *sigh* where do I begin.. how about with me. might as well put myself out there. Pshh, I got nothin' to lose.. I myself have lost many wars against confidence.. many of you may know me as being the "shy guy" or "quiet".. I'm not gonna lie, I still come off as that, but now that I've have gone through many situations and have done NOTHING about it, it's time to change it up. Like I said, I've had little experience in this field so take my ideas/opinions with a grain of salt.. like, take a grain of salt, then smash it with something.. yeah, that small, okay? okay good.

Alright, we've established my situation pretty much.. So here's what I have to say.. now, this is going to be somewhat short and sweet because I know that long blogs are a bitch to read [no joke, if you blog long, the chances of me reading it are very small, unless your opening is interesting]

Confidence with guys.. lets establish the obvious things: 1: dress to impress + hygeine, 2: rejection = learning, 3: start low, aim high [lower your standards at first]. if you don't know what I'm talking about, then stop reading, and figure it out.

The biggest factor in confidence: YOUR BALLS. not literally of course. but just the idea to be bold and well.. confident. There are three things [from what I believe and have learned] are the only three things you need to know:
1: THINK IT
2: BELIEVE IT
3: SELL IT

1: Think it.. Know what you are going to say.. you should already be comfortable in this area after much rejection/learning. If this is still difficult, I find it quite easy after a few shots with the buddies.. I'm not gonna lie, alcohol is your friend, just dont abuse it or it will be your enemy. You don't go into a game not knowing how to play.. duh!

2: Believe it.. Believe that you will come out on top, rather than be rejected. I like to think that women like it when men come up to them with bold statements.. "can I call you sometime?" is changed to "lemme call you sometime.".. "do you want to dance?" becomes "hey, let's dance." .. bottom line: take control.. control = confidence.

3: Sell it.. Your 2/3rd's of the way there! you know what you're going to say.. you believe in yourself.. now USE IT. its that simple. Sell sell sell.. you are up to your neck in reasons you are the good guy, and it's time to make room for women in your life, so sell!

Now I know there's a lot more to it, but like I said, I'm not one to type up a book. So what have I learned? The good ones are as shy as us guys, so make the first move. And for our other good halves, HELP US OUT. like women, nothing is more attractive [hmm.. maybe not nothing ;) ] than a LADY WITH CONFIDENCE.. let me say that one more time.. LADY WITH CONFIDENCE. come and talk to us! or just me, come talk to me ;) .. or at least meet us "good guys" half way, and give us clues.. games are fun, but clues are like a scavenger hunt.. the more clues, the more exciting, the better the outcome for the both of us! Also, HAVE FUN WITH IT, meaning, don't take EVERY interaction seriously.. I like to think that rejection stories are better than the ones that actually work.. cause with rejection, everyone wins: you learn + your buddies get a good laugh... when you get lucky: you win + your buddies hate you [not to your face of course] when you score.

my work is done here.. tune in next time for "why women are such bitches!"... SYKE! gotcha. shes only a bitch if her personality is horrible ;)

mixed nuts = a handfull of goods and bads

It's midnight. The time when everything settles and my mind begins to unravel itself into deep contemplation. So where do I begin?

First things first: I feel sick. not cold sick, but I'm-about-to-throw-up-sick.. I decided to take a break from my long night of studying [okay, so maybe long night means a few hours.. gimme a break!] and watch Cloverfield with some of the guys. Without spoiling anything, here's what i gotta say..
- I get motion sickness pretty easy when it comes to movies like this.. So the movie was a big no no for me me.
- I get MOTION SICKNESS! fuck! okay, I think I'm over that part for now. *cue queezy feeling in stomach*
- good story line. keeps you on the edge thinking "wtf?! wtf?! wait a second.. wtf?! oh shit! omg watch out! wtf?!".. just as long as you can get over the "what?! another POV movie?! aw shit.. sorry guys, I gotta move to the back seats.." [which is what actually happened for me]
- lots of clues in the movie.. you know where to look for them? its called the INTERNET.

overall, disregarding the queezy feeling.. I'd have to give it a 7 outa 10..

Now STAR TREK [dir. J.J. Abrams]... that's the shit I'm waiting for! don't get me wrong, I'm no Trekky [sp?] fan, but like Cloverfield, the trailer has got me hooked already! btw, did anyone notice during the 10,000 B.C. trailer, they were talking english?! really? I didn't know modern english dates back to 10,000 B. friggin C. !!! oh well, I'm still gonna watch it cause I love sabertooth tigers! meow!

NEXT TOPIC [drum roll please..]
lets all spell together now... D-R-A-M-A .. yaye! our favorite topic! grab a blanket and popcorn! the good stuff is about to start! I'm kidding [get used to a lot of those from me].. it's not really drama, it's just... ... . .. confusion? yeah, that'll work for now. As most of you know, I just got out of a relationship. A pretty good one, might I add. Actually, one that was not only worth giving my life up for, but a great learning experience. When it ended, I was the typical mad-as-fuck-ex-boyfriend. Doing the usual talking to "mah boys" and agreeing with the typical things your buds would say to you.. but now, I'm alright with everything.. I've learned SO MUCH from it, that I'm not upset anymore. I've grown into a better person, I like to believe, and just don't regret anything.

but just recently I noticed the worst part. I lost a friend, a best friend actually.. I shared so much with her, and I still wish I could now! I mean, I would share things with her in a heart beat, but she's just not the same anymore. She's been acting like a totally different person. I don't know if it's me, but when we talk, or I ask her simple things, she takes offense to it. I'm REALLY not trying to be a dick.. There's no reason for me to do that! I'm not trying to get back with her, so throw me a friggin' bone here! Anyways, without going into too much detail, I'll just say that if that's the new person she's going to be, then that sucks. It's a waste of a good heart, cause I know the real her is in there somewhere, and hopefully she understands that I'm not here to make her look bad, I'm just trying to let you see that your a better person.

hmm.. not really drama, huh? I guess not. it would be more "dramatic" if I went into detail, but for one thing I respect her as a person and won't go breaking down that barrier.. and also, I'm not that kind of a person.

This is all about me! me, baby.. ME. okay so enough with that. um, shit! this new "afterlife," "beginning," "rebirth," whatever the heck you wanna call it, it has started out nice. For those of you who have been with me recently, you know what I'm talking about.. "we've only just beguuuuunnn.".. I've been doing things that I don't usually do, which is faaaaan-fuckin-tastic! Cause I needed to get outta my usual schedule, so for those who have helped: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! you know you've enjoyed my company.. and I'm just gettin' started! bring on the alcohol! juuuuusst kidding.. [not really.. but really.. no im kidding.. i think ;) ]

well, I've got so much more on my mind right now, but I have to make like titties and bounce [yeah thats right! I said it! bring on the feminist!]... btw, i started that one :) but probably not something I should be proud about.. okay, I have to make like hockey players and get the PUCK outta here!.. It's late, I'm queezy, and I still have to study! so to all a good night! and for those of you "gettin' some" ... I HATE YOU :)

devirginized..!!!

hmm.. so this is how it starts, huh? well.. here's my story. My first reason for joining blogger was to find a certain group blog with some friends.. but, seeing that it is 3 in the morning, there's no chance of contacting those who are in it, or finding the damn thing. so how do i kill time? what do i do if i can't speak my mind with my friends? where can i talk mad shit about people and get away with it [just kidding.. not really.. but really.. no im kidding.. but really. hah!]..

answer: RIGHT HERE! in my own blogger! so far it seems like another xanga or friendster.. and those didn't work out so well.. but now that im older and not using blogs just to meet people, i can meet people AND bitch about my problems.. great, right? hah. so I shall update this thing now that I have MORE time on my hands.. hopefully keeping up to date with the things going on in my life. I'm sure I'll be back on here tomorrow to update since this is my "new best friend".. and hopefully find what I was initially looking for, that damn group blog. REAL TALK! alrite, time for sleep. long day in the library tomorrow.
